Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, BULLY is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America's bullying crisis. BULLY follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals\' offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children.
After the screening of this film, we will have a panel with a mental health practitioner, school administrator, student and a parent addressing this topic and taking questions.
This event is funded by Fusion Academy & Learning Center (www.fusionacademy.com) and Supported by Irvington Different Together, Westchester Psychotherapy, Westchester Group Works, and Center Lane of Westchester Jewish Community Services.
